CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT IT. UPON IMPACT, DUAL AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE, GEAR SELECTOR IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF PARK ON ITS OWN AND BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD, CRASHING THROUGH A FENCE, SMALL TREES AND SHRUBS, THEN DOWN AN ENBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE AND IS PROBABLY A TOTAL LOSS.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING, AND AS A RESULT OF BEING REAR ENDED AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK *SLC

I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM AS THE SHOES WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 5745 MILES. AT 12503 MILES THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. NOW AT 15, 200 MILES I STILL FEEL A VIBRATION UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN VERY PATRONIZING. THEY STATE IT'S MY TIRES. THE GOODYEAR TIRE DEALER STATED THAT IF THERE IS VIBRATION UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES IT IS NOT THE TIRES BUT IT IS THE BRAKES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT ACTION MOTORS HAS BEEN STALLING ME SO THAT THE CAR REACHES 18000 MILES AND WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR THE LEMON LAW RETURN. I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS AND THEY STATED THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT GET ANYONE'S NAMES AND ADDRESSES BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS OF THE JEEP CHEROKEE TO ASCERTAIN HOW MANY PERSONS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THANK YOU ROSALIE CICOGNA. *AK
